Russell Brand usually has a yoga mat with him when he does yoga, because that's kind of what you do when you do yoga — you use a mat! He and his mat used to kinda be a thing, but now we don't see it at all!

What we DO see is proper hydration, but a lonely arm without a yoga mat to hold!

We wonder if he rented one, or borrowed one, and how his own mat would feel about it… if they ARE still together!

Russell Brand was spotted in EL Lay with his beloved yoga mat as the two did some bonding at an early morning class!

However, we couldn't help but notice there was something a bit different about the hilarious actor as he walked hand-in-hand with his trusty partner.

He didn't look anything like his old chipper self as he didn't even come close to showing off his signature smile!!

Is Russell's relationship with his yoga mat on the rocks again?? Was he simply putting on his best game face to prepare for some intense relaxation?? Or did he just maybe need to hit the snooze button a couple of extra times this morning??

We definitely hope it's the last one, because we miss seeing those pearly whites!

For a while there, we were worried that Russell Brand and his relationship with his yoga mat was on the rocks! Luckily, we have some photographic evidence (above) from El Lay that that's not the case, and now we feel foolish for ever jumping to conclusions!

They look truly happy together!

Seriously, we can't think of a better power couple than Russell and his yoga mat. We hope they're together forever, happy and healthy!
